Just two seasons after going undrafted, the former Pac-10 Player of the Year will get his first glimpse at an NBA training camp. Now, Jerome Randle needs to make sure he can shoot his way on to the official roster.

A day after clearing cap space by trading guards Rudy Fernandez and Corey Brewer, the Dallas Mavericks signed the former Cal star on Wednesday, giving the diminutive sharpshooter his first chance at the NBA since unsuccessful summer league stints with Orlando and Washington. Randle arrives from the Turkish club Aliaga, where he averaged 17.5 points per game and 3.9 assists in one season.

Randle was signed along with former Michigan State point guard Drew Neitzel. The Mavericks are shuffling their backcourt after losing playoff hero Jose Juan Barea to the Minnesota Timberwolves. Randle joins former Cal legend Jason Kidd, who was the conference player of the year in 1994.

In 2010, Randle was named the Pac-10 player of the year after leading the Bears to their first conference championship in 50 years. He was the first player to win the award since Sean Lampley did it for Cal in 2001.
